gimme, gimme, gimme.

He goes to an expensive private school. His dad's a surgeon. Methinks that the lack of waterpolo won't ruin his life.

yeah, you see how that worked out for him so far. His education/upbringing was so brilliant, that he got caught on camera trying to light a cop car on fire cus his hockey team lost. He'll be the next Canadian Einstien. No way daddy supports him his whole life.
